Yes, remember the Ford Model T?, it was produced for a long time,
without any changes, so when everyone had one, nobody wanted one
anymore (MORAL: you have to trigger the market with new, improved
models to keep making $$).
And, remember the VW Beatle (or Bugs)? They were developed in the
1930's or 1940's, and in the 1970's Volkswagen was still producing
cars based on this, for the 1970's obsolete, model. This was almost
the end of Volkswagen (MORAL: you have to keep up with the modern
developments to stay alive).

Thank God (and APPLE) the MAC is not like any of these two, and APPLE is
spending a lot of money on Research and Development, otherwise we would
have been stuck with 512k MACs forever.
